KATHLEEN | Fine stripe with a small collar

I push my sleeves up the second I start cooking. These are the first cuffs that stay where I put them.

Every woman who cooks knows the small daily irritation of a sleeve that will not stay pushed up. You roll it at the wrist, it slides down into the sink, you roll it again. Over time the cardigans that do this get worn less and less, until the only one in rotation is the one that has already gone loose at the wrist and looks it. Kathleen is built so this does not happen.

The cuffs are ribbed tightly enough to grip the forearm when you push them up, and they return to shape rather than staying stretched. The body carries a fine stripe in cream against one clear color, which is a pattern that has outlasted every trend it has been near. A small collar sits at the neck, and that is the detail that lifts it past a plain cardigan. Buttons run the full length of the front, and the length stops at the hip.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The cuffs stay pushed up. Tight ribbing grips the forearm and recovers its shape, so the sleeves are not back at your wrists five minutes later.
• A fine stripe does not date. This pattern has been in and out of fashion for decades without ever being wrong, so it is not a one-season purchase.
• The collar is what makes it smart. An open cardigan with no collar reads as home clothes. This one is fine for lunch out or an appointment.
• Six stripe colors. Brown, Green, Black, Pink, Light Blue and Yellow, each against cream, so the pairing is done for you.

How it fits

Relaxed, hip length, in S through 5XL. Take your usual size. If you fall between two, take the larger one, because a striped knit shows strain more than a plain one does and the lines should stay parallel across the front when it is buttoned. Anything that does not fit is covered below.

30 days to change your mind

Wear it, cook in it, push the sleeves up. If it is not right, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee and no conditions attached.

A few recent reviews

Bought it for the stripe and kept it for the cuffs. I did not know that was a thing I cared about. Dixie A., Gilbert

The collar makes it look far more expensive than it was. I have worn it to two appointments already. Jeanine W., Henderson

I take a 4XL and the stripes still line up straight across the buttons. That is not always the case. Corinne P., Mesa
